Max ease. Full speed.\nWhether people and businesses are sending money to another country, spending abroad, or making and receiving international payments, Wise is on a mission to make their lives easier and save them money.\nAs part of our team, you will be helping us create an entirely new network for the world's money.\nFor everyone, everywhere.\nMore about our mission and what we offer.\n Salary range: 148,800 - 185,000 SGD base per annum + RSUs\nAPAC Expansion specialises in taking Wise from 0 to 1 in markets where our products are unavailable or our presence is still limited. We build the expertise needed to launch in each market, understanding local payment infrastructure and regulatory requirements, and how customers need to use Wise.\nThe work starts before a launch and continues as we learn from customers. You’ll help turn unfamiliar requirements into working products, build integrations with local partners, and improve the services that support them.\nOurrecent launch of the Wise Account and card in Thailand is an example of the products this work makes possible.\nBased in Singapore, you’ll work with colleagues across the region on market launches and product improvements, including our expansion offices in South Korea and Japan as well as our other big hub in Hyderabad.\nWhat you’ll do\nOwn the technical plan and delivery of projects, from understanding the customer problem through rollout and ongoing operation. Contribute significant engineering work to larger market launches.\n\nBuild onboarding and money movement services that meet local requirements and fit into Wise’s global platform.\n\nWork with product managers and colleagues in compliance, banking, and operations to clarify requirements, resolve dependencies, and agree practical delivery milestones.\n\nContribute to the team’s roadmap. Explain the customer impact of your work, challenge assumptions, and use data and operational feedback to guide improvements.\n\nDesign services that are easy to change as a market develops. Take responsibility for their reliability and security, and address technical debt before it limits delivery.\n\nHelp colleagues deliver through design discussions, code reviews, and mentoring. Share knowledge so others can confidently maintain and develop what you build.\n\nParticipate in the team’s on-call rotation, including support outside working hours when needed. Help lead incident response and follow through on improvements.\n\nExplore where AI tools can help with engineering work, reviewing their output carefully and taking responsibility for the code you ship.\n\n You have strong Java and Spring experience and have built and operated backend services in production. We have an up-to-date tech stack, and our services use Java 25 and Spring Boot 4.\nYou understand distributed systems and asynchronous communication, and can make practical decisions about API design, data modelling, and failure handling.\n\nYou have experience with databases, including schema design and query optimisation, and write tests that give your team confidence to release changes.\n\nYou have taken a project from an uncertain starting point to production. You can break work into useful increments, communicate risks early, and keep delivery moving.\n\nYou care about the customer problem behind a requirement and can explain technical decisions to colleagues outside engineering.\n\nYou have helped other engineers succeed through mentoring, constructive feedback, or coordinating delivery. You’re comfortable bringing people together to work through a problem and making space for others to contribute.\n\nYou can learn an unfamiliar domain, ask for help when needed, and adjust your approach as new information emerges.\n\nNice to Have\nExperience with payments, financial systems, or digital onboarding would be useful. Frontend experience with a framework such as React or Angular would also help when working across a customer journey.\nWhat you can expect\nYou’ll have ownership of your projects and a voice in how the team builds its products. You’ll develop expertise in launching financial products across APAC, with opportunities to mentor colleagues, support onboarding, and contribute to engineering interviews.\nWe assess experience through the impact of your work and the problems you can solve. You don’t need to have worked in every technology or market we cover.\n For everyone, everywhere. We're people building money without borders - without judgement or prejudice, too. We believe teams are strongest when they are diverse, equitable and inclusive.\nWe're proud to have a truly international team, and we celebrate our differences.\nInclusive teams help us live our values and make sure every Wiser feels respected, empowered to contribute towards our mission and able to progress in their careers.\nIf you want to find out more about what it's like to work at Wise visit Wise.Jobs.\nKeep up to date with life at Wise by following us on LinkedIn and Instagram.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5066,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Singapore","iso":"SG","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Money Transfer & Remittances","Currency Exchange & FX Payments"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-09T11:14:08Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-09T12:16:40Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":144252,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/wise-senior-software-engineer-apac-expansion","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/wise-senior-software-engineer-apac-expansion.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-09T12:16:40Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":15133,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3856},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3856"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwise-senior-software-engineer-apac-expansion"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fwise-senior-software-engineer-apac-expansion"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fwise-senior-software-engineer-apac-expansion"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/wise-senior-software-engineer-apac-expansion\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwise-senior-software-engineer-apac-expansion"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3960300}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"wise.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3960300},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
